Risky Star, Devin Donovan, Lost One

[PORTLAND RHYMER] With the spotlight’s glare sticking on the Seattle hip-hop scene at the moment, there’s some hope in the hearts of Portland’s most ardent rap fans that the vibrant local community will get carried a little further forward in Macklemore’s wake. One local rapper who could serve to gain some further attention is Risky Star, a soulful cat who, on the upcoming Trust No One Records compilation, dives into a crate of vintage ’70s R&B as source material to back his heartfelt rhymes. He’s joined on this bill by two of his equally talented labelmates, Devin Donovan and Lost One.
